Adam arrived at Dio's discreetly.
Even without the Faceless Mask, he was an expert at counter-surveillance. He had no need for magic to cover his tracks or detect anyone following him. Especially in an urban jungle.
He began by taking an indirect route, deliberately avoiding the main thoroughfares. At a busy intersection, he paused before a shop window, using its reflection to observe the street behind him.
Then he crossed through a crowded marketplace, doubled back through a narrow alley, and emerged onto an entirely different street, wearing different clothes.
Along the way, he made several seemingly pointless turns, occasionally stopping to inspect a stall or window display. He also changed his pace, allowing crowds to separate him from anyone who might be following.
At one point, he entered a public building through the front entrance and left through a side exit. He repeated the process elsewhere, watching for familiar faces and movements that seemed out of place.
